There are multiple reasons why Mike Tomlin is one of the best coaches in the NFL and the public likely isn’t aware of all of his unique strategies. Tomlin recently revealed one method he employs while attending college player’s Pro Days. While travelling to watch one senior or draft-eligible prospect, he’ll poke around and gather intel on a future star, sometimes by asking the prospect he’s made the trip to watch himself. That’s what happened when Tomlin touched down in Columbus, Ohio in 2011 for the Ohio State Buckeyes’ Pro Day.
“I’ve used that tactic over the years,” Tomlin said Saturday during The Mike Tomlin Show.
